A review of several statistical and probabilistic approaches to the problem of fatigue crack growth shows that many Markov models are equivalent in that they express the probability density of the crack length at time t as solutions of the Kolmogorov, or Fokker-Plank, equations. Further, it is shown

number of stochastic models of fatigue crack growth under constant amplitude cyclic loading are assessed in the light of experimental data. Particular attention is paid to the predictive performance of the models under a change in the initial crack length and generally it is found that the models pr
Abstmtet-A probabilistic model for prediing fatigue crack growth rate and cycles to reach a given crack iength is presented. The stochastic chamcterixations of cmok growth parameters c and m in the Paris-Erdogan and Forman Iaws are investigated based upon crack growth experiments. According to the s
In the paper, stochastic description of curvilinear fatigue crack growth is provided. The crack growth process is regarded as a cumulative random jump process consisting of a random number of random increments with random angles. The probability distribution of the crack size represented by the mode
